What he gets up to while not fighting may be outrageous or not, but personally as long as he puts on a good show in the Octagon when he's fighting, I just don't care. I mean, I agree that his antics were moronic and his "apology" was one of the most unimaginably stupid things I've ever read, but at the end of the day he's an epic fighter who is entertaining to watch and who is winning titles for Ireland and that's what counts. I apply this to everything, not just McGregor. I'll happily continue to watch House of Cards, despite knowing that Kevin Spacey is an abusive creep, because it's a good show and he acts well in front of the camera. Similarly, even if it turns out that McGregor is a complete and total gobsh!te (and personally I don't think this incident proves that), as long as his fights are entertaining to watch, I'll watch them and cheer him on. I actually feel that it's only in recent years that we're supposed to consider the entire human being in an entertainer when deciding whether or not to be entertained by them. For instance, when Michael Jackson was embroiled in controversy over alleged sex offences, I never heard anyone suggest that we should stop listening to and enjoying his music as a result. This whole idea that someone's behaviour outside of their job as an entertainer (which in my view is primarily what sports is about, entertaining a crowd) has to influence how we feel about their performance *in* their job and whether or not we're "allowed" to consume it and enjoy doing so, seems to me to be an extremely recent phenomenon and I think society is worse off because of it. Many people who manage to get themselves into positions of superstardom probably have some element of megalomania involved, so I'd argue that if we're supposed to not enjoy their performances because of their personality in other areas, we'd end up with very little "allowed" entertainment at all. Just as I won't stop listening to U2 on account of the Paradise Papers and I won't stop watching House of Cards on account of Spacey, I won't stop watching McGregor's fights and hoping he continues to dominate in them - not because of him personally, but because he's representing my country when he's in that Octagon. Those who are saying things like "I hope he gets his ass kicked in fights from now on" are missing that, IMO. It's not just about him - a victory for Conor is a victory for Ireland, and that still matters regardless of the background of the person wearing the Irish flag.
glasso wrote: » well yeah you've just highlighted one of the big devisive issues about him. I (and a lot of people) resent a guy like that brandishing the Irish flag and Irishness in general whenever it suits him as it's not what you want to be associated with being Irish.

cletus wrote: » That's not true of all the posters who were unhappy with his behaviour on Saturday. Take myself as an example. If you go back through my post history you would be hard pressed to find a post I made criticising Conor McGregor. Your comment is about as constructive as me posting that McGregor fanboys will defend whatever he does regardless, so why don't you get off his nut sack. Some of us have laid out exactly why we were disappointed or annoyed or whatever with his behaviour. If you found that particular set of actions by him acceptable, why not lay that out in a post for us so we can discuss the merits or otherwise of your opinion

wonderfullife wrote: » Hugely disappointed. I think he has a genuine problem with his surroundings. I don't think it's a good sign for athletes to be drinking double vodka's doing interviews in the daytime, which is what happened the other week, and I find it highly unlikely he's hanging around with so many dealers and not doing any drugs. If I was in a position to advise him, I would strongly urge him to pack his suitcases and move the family to L.A. for a few years until Conor Jr. gets nearer school age. Get away from Dublin. Get away from his comfort zone. Maybe even start hearing different voices in training. It worked out well for Darren Till and Bisping to just get away from it all and focus on their career, I think it would do wonders for Conor too.
cletus wrote: » I wasn't suggesting that you specifically were on his nutsack. I don't follow him on social media either, as I am not on Twitter, Instagram etc. I find it a little odd that you say you don't care about this episode, yet you obviously cared enough to be annoyed by, and post about, other people who actually cared
glasso wrote: » EagererBeaver wrote: » He's not representing your country though. He's not fighting "for Ireland" regardless of anything he says. He literally just happens to have been born here. come on. Ireland is a small country and MMA is a world sport. McGregor and Ireland are indelibly linked in the international context. and you can't say that he hasn't used the Irish aspect in his self-promotion in several different ways.
